kudos:1 | The highest appeal The freedom and unrestricted nature of the internet is why I use it. Once you make tiers that make like it TV I will just lose interest in it. Youtube and Facebook are not that big of a deal to me.

| typo "is particular y absurd" 4th para, 1st sentence. Just saying.
Anyways, if the internet moved to this pricing scheme, I see ultimate failure. There's a lot of people out there unlike us who just hop on every so often to watch some youtube or what not on low speed cheap DSL. They see this lame scheme now added to their billing? Gonners. Something like this seems like it would only stick on the people who like paying an ass load of money for few services, aka ridiculous cell phone plans for example...just my opinion.

somewhere | something similar to this already happens in australia although i'm not sure if they go as far as to do deep packet inspection. basically what the isps do is give you some ridicoulous monthly cap and then partner with (read: charge) companies so that thier content doesnt count against your cap.
example
»www.mytivo.com.au/whatistivo/unmetering/
in my opinion it is a step backward.....
what's next..... internet long distance charges for sites visited in other countries???

Re: Then Won't work.
The whole point is that you won't be able to connect to any random IP anymore, only those on a whitelist. |

Re: The highest appeal the whole idea is bullshit.closing the internet and creating a rich man's net and a poor man's net is a crock of shit.i can see it happening though and then we need to do something serious against those in power.
and do it worldwide at that.

Re: why not For what? Delivering visitors? I thought that's what my monthly Internet bill is paying for. Or am I going to get my access for free or a deeply-discounted rate if the ISP's collect money from the Web sites? |

Saint Louis, MO | Youtube would change names every day. Suddenly, instead of going to Youtube, we would all just go to u2ube, then othertube.com, then biffytube or whatever. The content would just slide around to avoid this. Then the ISPs wold come up with another way of overcharging people. |

because they shouldnt have to.
the isp customers pay for internet access.
if an isp wants to make money on website content then they should produce thier own.
